Did you know ...

• ... that soprano Rachel Nicholls, a performer of Wagner's Brünnhilde, sang in Bach's dialogue cantata Liebster Jesu, mein Verlangen (Dearest Jesus, my desire) "a clear Lutheran analogy to a love duet"?
• ... that the Comet Hale-Bopp (pictured) inspired Graham Waterhouse to compose Hale Bopp for string orchestra, which ends with a boy soprano singing How Brightly Shines the Morning Star?
• ... that Bach has a trumpet tell God's glory in cantata Die Himmel erzählen die Ehre Gottes, BWV 76, but oboe d'amore and viola da gamba express "brotherly devotion"?

7 July 2011, a year later I dedicated my first GA to BarkingMoon (talk · contribs) who made the cantata a lead DYK and left, for lack of br'erly devotion.
